Redirect Manager

Managing Redirects (Premium)

Redirect Manager lets you create and manage 301/302/307 redirects directly in WordPress. Enable the module under Site Auditor > Optimize (Modules).

Create a Redirect

1. Open Redirect Manager
2. Click Add New
3. Enter source URL
4. Enter target URL
5. Choose redirect type:
   • 301 - Permanent redirect (recommended for SEO)
   • 302 - Temporary redirect
   • 307 - Temporary redirect (preserves HTTP method)
6. Choose match type: exact, prefix, or regex
7. Save

Before a redirect is saved, the module automatically checks that it does not create a redirect loop.

Import and Export

You can import and export redirects via CSV file. The export contains source URL, target URL, type, match type, status, hits, and notes.

Note: If another redirect plugin (e.g. Redirection or Safe Redirect Manager) is active, the module warns about the conflict.

Features

• Regex patterns: Match multiple URLs with regular expressions
• Loop detection: Detects redirect chains that would create loops
• Hit counting: See how often and when each redirect was last used
• Test tool: Test a URL against your rules before relying on them

Best Practices

• Always use 301 for permanent page moves
• Avoid redirect chains (A → B → C)
• Review hit counts regularly
• Remove redirects to deleted pages
